Coming to the United States

One moment in 1978 my mother took my sister and I ran Vietnam to Thailand's Songkhla. 9 months after July 1979, I arrived in San Antonio, Texas. Here I started my "American" education. It is this type of education system and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) that passes through a medium called TV, but when I find that what happened in my home country is not my people, it illuminates me. Unfortunately, it is not easy to be a child of a foreigner who grows up in "Americans" who change English from one town to another and change their school every year.

In the past 75 years, the number of immigrants entering the United States every year is increasing with the proportion of those born overseas. Changes brought about by these trends are visible throughout the country, from the faces of children at our school to the religious facilities of our town and our grocery store. Regarding entry restrictions, policy discussions on refugee expenses and border barriers are intensively done at the national, state and local levels. The figure shows that the number of immigrants to the US peaked in the early 1950s and similar peaks were measured by the proportion of the American population in the 1880s and 1900s. The relatively open border of the 19th and early 20th century brings the level of immigrants far beyond the current level and occupies the percentage of the population. Immigration control reforms in 1986 have increased rapidly in 1990.

Historically, education in the US was mainly provided by the government. Control and financing consists of three levels: federal, state and local. The enrollment rate is essential and nearly universal in elementary and high school (in general, it is called elementary and intermediate level outside the United States). Students can choose to receive education at public schools, private schools, or home schools. In most public and private schools, education is divided into three levels. Elementary, junior high school (also commonly referred to as junior high school), and high school. At almost all schools at these levels, children are divided into different grades depending on age. In the United States, secondary education called "university" is usually managed separately from primary school and high school systems.
